Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman (PFLO), known as the People's Democratic Front of Oman (PDFO) after 1992, is a communist political party in Oman that was founded in 1974. The party replaced the Dhofar Liberation Front, and it took part in the Dhofar Rebellion against the Omani monarchy. By 1976, the rebellion had been crushed, and the PFLO was renamed to the PDFO in 1992, continuing the fight through political (instead of violent) means.
